Overview
Mission
Every Mother’s Advocate is a mother advocacy movement focused on eradicating the preventable causes of family separation, and when a mom in crisis is connected to advocacy and support, she is empowered to keep her family together. 2024 was a year of refining and strengthening our mission. While piloting small programs, our primary focus was on rebuilding program software, evaluating effectiveness, and fostering a stronger internal culture. This work led to the creation of our three-year strategic plan. Thanks to this groundwork, we enter the next season with greater clarity and momentum—for ĒMA, our partners, and the families we serve. This mission isn’t possible without you—our donors, volunteers, and partners. ĒMA’s impact is not built on one leader but a collective of nonprofits, volunteers, faith communities, and generous supporters who share a commitment to family preservation....

The verdict
